TV One Ltd. WEEE Policy Statement for United Kingdom Business Customers.
1.0 Introduction
TV One Ltd., will meet it’s obligations under the EU Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The objective of this policy is to specify the applicable products affected by this directive and to detail the policy and procedures for the return and safe disposal of WEEE.
2.0 Applicable Product
Any finished product is subject to WEEE regulations. A finished product is defined by three criteria: -
- A product with a housing i.e. not an OEM component or sub-assembly.
- A product either with an intelligent interface; RS232, PS/2 or USB or one that can operate on a stand-alone basis, i.e. independent of a host.
- A product that is dependent on an electric current to work properly.
From 13 August 2005 all applicable TV One Ltd’s finished product are labelled with the WEEE compliant logo as follows:-
Any product not marked with the WEEE logo should be disposed of in normal waste streams as per current practice. Any product marked with the WEEE logo should be separated from other waste streams to ensure that it can be recycled in an environmentally sound manner.
3.0 TV One Ltd. - Limited Liability
Under the U.K. implementation of the WEEE directive the following definitions apply:-
Historic WEEE – Goods shipped before 15h August 2005.
New WEEE - Goods shipped with the WEEE logo after 15th August 2005. TV One Ltd., is registered as a supplier of WEEE with the Environment Agency and makes all the necessary declarations with regard to WEEE sold within the United Kingdom. At the end of life, TV One Ltd., will accept the return of WEEE for the safe disposal and recycling as per the following: -
- Historic WEEE – Liability for Historic WEEE is applicable only where like for like purchases to replace the existing products is being negotiated. E.g. If 4000 of product A are being replaced with product B and that product B could be described as a replacement for product A, then the return of product A for recycling under the WEEE directive is acceptable. This collective producer responsibility for historic WEEE will end in 2013.
